On a Rob Key World Cup Special podcast, the trio look at Jofra Archer's impact since coming into the England team - the fast bowler taking three wickets in the tournament opener.

We also get their take on England skipper Eoin Morgan, and ask just how he has been able to instil the confidence in his team to go out and play such fearless cricket?

Plus, Virat Kohli or Jos Buttler? Which one would Strauss and Warne build their World Cup team around?

We also get Warne's leg-spin expertise on the success of wrist-spinners in the white-ball game, as well as ask Strauss what it was like facing the great man himself?

And, England to win the World Cup? Strauss is confident the tournament hosts are going all the way. But Warne says beware Australia, eyeing up an Ashes-style finale to the World Cup ahead of the Test series itself later this summer.
